Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of encoding a video data signal, the method comprising providing at least a first image of a scene as seen from a first viewpoint, providing rendering information for enabling the generation of at least one rendered image of the scene as seen from a rendering viewpoint and generating the video data signal comprising encoded data representing the first image and the rendering information.
  • This invention further relates to a method of decoding the video data signal, an encoder, a decoder, computer program products for encoding or decoding, the video data signal and a digital data carrier.
  • 3D video various methods exist for encoding a third dimension into the video data signal. Generally this is done by providing a viewer's eye with different views of the scene being watched.
  • a popular approach for representing 3D video is to use one or more two-dimensional (2D) images plus a depth representation providing information of the third dimension. This approach also allows 2D images to be generated with different viewpoints and viewing angles than the 2D images which are included in the 3D video signal.
  • Such an approach provides a number of advantages including allowing further views to be generated with relatively low complexity and providing an efficient data representation thereby reducing, e.g., storage and communication resource requirements for 3D video signals.
  • the video data is extended with data that is not visible from the available viewpoints, but becomes visible from a slightly different viewpoint.
  • This data is referred to as occlusion or background data.
  • the occlusion data is generated from multiview data obtained by capturing a scene with multiple cameras at different viewpoints.
  • JP 2006 041811A An example of a three dimensional video encoding system supporting view point shifting is provided in JP 2006 041811A .
  • this object is achieved by providing a method of encoding a video data signal in accordance with claim 1.
  • the quality of images generated from different viewing points is related to the availability of data needed for reconstruction of de-occluded objects.
  • data is available for shifting the view point to the left, but not for shifting the view point to the right. Consequently, shifting the viewpoint to the left may lead to a generated image with a different quality than shifting the viewpoint to the right.
  • a similar difference in quality may occur when insufficient de-occlusion information or no occlusion information is available for filling in de-occluded areas.
  • the de-occluded areas maybe filled in using so-called hole-filling algorithms.
  • hole-filling algorithms interpolate information from the direct vicinity of the de-occluded area. Consequently, shifting the viewpoint to the left may lead to a generated image with a different quality than shifting the viewpoint to the right.
  • Such differences in quality are not only influenced by the availability of required data, but also by the size and the nature of the surface area being de-occluded when shifting the viewpoint.
  • the quality of a 3D video or image may vary according to the newly selected viewpoint. It could, e.g., matter whether a new view is generated at the left side or at the right side of the viewpoint of the already available first image.
  • the preferred direction indicator defines a preferred orientation of the rendering viewpoint for an additional view relative to the original viewpoint of the image already included in the video signal.
  • the preferred direction indicator can be used for selecting the rendering viewpoint and generating the rendered image of the scene from the selected viewpoint.
  • the video data signal may comprise a preferred direction indicator for every frame, every group of frames, every scene, or even for an entire video sequence. Encoding such information on a per frame basis rather than on a coarser granularity enables random access; e.g. for supporting trick play. As often the preferred rendering indicator is constant for various frames and the size of the encoded video signal is typically relevant, the amount of duplicate indicators may be reduced by instead encoding the information on group of frame basis. An even more efficient encoding is to encode the preferred direction on a per scene basis as preferably the preferred direction of rendering is kept the same throughout a scene, thereby warranting continuity within a scene.
  • the size of the encoded signal is less critical information may be encoded on frame, group of frame and scene level alike, as long as all indicators are set in conformity with one another.
  • the preferred direction indicator is preferably kept constant for several frames. It may e.g. be kept constant throughout a group of frames or alternatively throughout a scene. It is noted that even when the preferred direction indicator is kept constant for several frames, it may still be advantageous to encode the constant preferred direction indicator on a smaller granularity than strictly necessary to facilitate random access.
  • the preferred orientation may be left, right, up, down or any combination of those directions.
  • a preferred distance or preferred maximum distance may be provided together with the preferred direction indication. If sufficient information about occluded objects and/or depth values of objects in the first image is available, it may be possible to generate multiple high quality additional views from viewpoints which may be further away from the original viewpoint.
  • the rendering information may, e.g., comprise occlusion data representing background objects being occluded by foreground objects in the first image, a depth map providing depth values of objects in the first image or transparency data for these objects.
  • the preferred direction indicator indicates for which possible rendering viewpoint the best rendering information is available. For more information relating to the rendering of layered depth images, see e.g. International Application WO2007/063477 . For more information regarding hole filling algorithms for use in filling de-occluded regions when rendering layered depth images, see e.g. WO2007/099465 .
  • a method of decoding a video data signal in accordance with claim 8 is provided.
  • Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a system for encoding video data according to the invention.
  • the system comprises two digital video cameras 11, 12 and an encoder 10.
  • the first camera 11 and the second camera 12 record the same scene 100, but from a slightly different position and thus also from a slightly different angle.
  • the recorded digital video signals from both video cameras 11, 12 are sent to the encoder 10.
  • the encoder may, e.g., be part of a dedicated encoding box, a video card in a computer or a software implemented function to be executed by a general purpose microprocessor.
  • the video cameras 11, 12 are analog video cameras and the analog video signals are converted to digital video signals before they are provided as input for the encoder 10. If the video cameras are coupled to the encoder 10, the encoding may take place during the recording of the scene 100. It's also possible to record the scene 100 first and to provide the recorded video data to the encoder 10 later.
  • the encoder 10 receives the digital video data from the video cameras 11, 12, either directly or indirectly, and combines both digital video signals into one 3D video signal 15. It is to be noted that both video cameras 11, 12 may be combined in one 3D video camera. It is also possible to use more than two video cameras to capture the scene 100 from more than two viewpoints.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of an encoding method according to the invention.
  • This encoding method may be performed by the encoder 10 of the system of figure 1 .
  • the encoding method uses the recorded digital video data from the cameras 11, 12 and provides a video data signal 15 according to the invention.
  • base image providing step 21 at least a first image of the scene is provided for inclusion in the video data signal 15.
  • This base image may be standard 2D video data coming from one of the two cameras 11, 12.
  • the encoder 10 may also use two base images; one from the first camera 11 and one from the second 12. From the base images, color values of all pixels in each frame of the recorded video can be derived.
  • the base images represent the scene at a certain moment in time as seen from a specific viewpoint. In the following, this specific viewpoint will be called the base viewpoint.
  • the incoming video data from the video cameras 11, 12 is used to add information to the base image.
  • This added information must enable a decoder to generate a rendered image of the same scene from a different viewpoint.
  • this added information is called rendering information.
  • the rendering information may, e.g., comprise depth information or transparency values of objects in the base image.
  • the rendering information may also describe objects that are blocked from being viewed from the base viewpoint by objects visible in the base image.
  • the encoder uses known, preferably standardized, methods for deriving this rendering information from the recorded regular video data.
  • the encoder 10 further adds a preferred direction indicator to the rendering information.
  • the preferred direction indicator defines a preferred orientation of the rendering viewpoint for an additional view relative to the base viewpoint.
  • the preferred direction indicator can be used for selecting the rendering viewpoint and generating the rendered image of the scene 100 from the selected viewpoint.
  • the quality of a 3D video or image may vary according to the newly selected viewpoint. It could, e.g., matter whether a new view is generated at the left side or at the right side of the viewpoint of the already available first image.
  • the preferred direction indicator which is added to the rendering information may, e.g., be a single bit indicating a left or right direction.
  • a more advanced preferred direction indicator may also indicate an up or down direction and/or a preferred or maximum distance of the new viewpoint relative to the base viewpoint.
  • the preferred direction indicator may provide a preferred orientation and/or distance of multiple rendering viewpoints relative to the first viewpoint. For example, it may be preferred to generate two rendering viewpoints at the same side of the first viewpoint or one at each side.
  • the preferred position(s) of the rendering viewpoint(s) relative to the first viewpoint may depend on the distance between those two points. It may, e.g., be better to render an image from a viewpoint at the left side of the first viewpoint when both viewpoints are close together; while for larger distances between both viewpoints to the left side of the first viewpoint may be more suitable for generating the rendering viewpoint.
  • the decision as to which particular direction is more favorable may be determined automatically; e.g. when encoding a stereo pair as a layered depth image, using an image, depth and occlusion representation, it is possible to use either the left or right image as the image of the layered depth image, and to reconstruct the other image based thereon. Subsequently a difference metric can be computed for both alternatives and the preferred encoding and therewith direction can be determined based thereon.
  • the differences are weighted based on a model of the human visual perceptive system.
  • the preferred direction could be selected based on user-interaction.
  • the information provided in the previous steps 21, 22, 23 is used for generating a video data signal 15 according to the invention.
  • the video data signal 15 at least represents the first image, the rendering information and the preferred direction indicator.
  • a preferred direction indicator may be provided for each frame, for a group of frames or for a complete scene or even a complete video. Changing the position of the rendering viewpoint during a scene may have a negative influence on the perceived 3D image quality, but may on the other hand be necessary if the availability of rendering information for different directions changes considerably.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a system for decoding video data according to the invention.
  • the system comprises a decoder 30 for receiving the video data signal 15 and converting the video data signal 15 into a display signal which is suitable for being displayed by a display 31.

  • the video data signal 15 may also be provided on request, e.g., via the Internet or via a video-on-demand service.
  • the video data signal 15 is provided on a digital data carrier, such as a DVD or Blu-ray disc.
  • the display 31 is capable of providing a 3D presentation of the scene 100 that was captured and encoded by the encoder 10 of the system of figure 1 .
  • the display 31 may comprise the decoder 30 or may be coupled to the decoder 30.
  • the decoder 30 may be part of a 3D video receiver which is to be coupled to one or more normal television or computer displays.
  • the display is a dedicated 3D display 31 capable of providing different views to different eyes of a viewer.
  • Figure 4 shows a flow diagram of a decoding method as it may be performed by the decoder 30 of figure 3 .
  • the video data signal 15 encoded by the encoder 10 is received at an input of the decoder 30.
  • the received video data signal 15 comprises encoded data representing at least the first image of the scene 100, rendering information and the preferred direction indicator.
  • additional viewpoint selection step 42 the preferred direction indicator is used for selecting at least one additional viewpoint for a respective additional view.
  • additional view rendering step 43 one or more additional views from the selected viewpoint or viewpoints are generated.
  • display step 44 two or more views from different viewpoints may then be provided to the display 31 for showing the scene 100 in 3D.
